I have nothing to say here, only that Gill has spoken of this grandmother at least once before. Doris Mildred Jean Macmurchy-Hewgill August 31 1923- June 22 2003. This was my grandmother, and so much has changed in my life since she passed nearly twenty years ago. Dear grandma I am writing this to thank …

Always An Adventure
If you came here earlier and noticed that the place had halfway fallen over, that should be fixed now. And for the benefit of anyone else running a WordPress website and also having problems at the moment, here is basically what happened just in case it might help. I woke up this morning to a …
My Friends, I Assure You That I Have Nothing To Do With Running This Province That I Run
By his own admission, Doug Ford believes that the Liberals’ use of the Emergencies Act during the freedom convoy was the right thing to do. “Stood shoulder to shoulder with the Prime Minister” on it, he said. So why, then, is he fighting so hard to avoid testifying at the inquiry? What does he personally …
He Died Doing What He Loved
A sad so long to Florida lawyer Ron Smith, who spent much of his legal career fighting against and ultimately helping to overturn the state’s motorcycle helmet law. He was killed recently when…do I even need to finish this sentence? Smith didn’t like being told what to do and valued his independence, said Dave Newman, …
Let’s Get Together…For a Breath Test
You’ll never guess what a woman who handed the cops an LCBO gift card instead of her driver’s licence during a traffic stop was arrested for. Either that or it’ll be about as easy as the collar itself. Who can say? An Orangeville-area female was arrested for impaired driving in Guelph Friday morning after handing …
Get Off My Lawn! Like Literally, Get Off The Lawn
Totally with Gill on this one. We have the same problem in our neighbourhood. We’re in very close proximity to a Walmart, plus there are several other grocery stores within reasonable walking distance. So because people are energetic enough to take a walk but too lazy to carry things and/or too cheap to buy their …

The Pheasant Plucker British Pub
Looks like Gill went to another restaurant. At 20 Augusta Street in the heart of downtown Hamilton sits a pub that is partly homage to the working class neighborhoods that were once the main landscape of Hamilton, partly trendy little hole-in-the-wall British establishment. One might be a little discouraged or think of stereotypes of dimly …
We Voted Today…We Hope
Well, we voted. The experience was, to put it mildly, a complete clown show. Let’s break down what happened, shall we? The nice fellow at the registration table had no idea what an audio voting machine was or even if they had one. This in spite of the fact that it was clearly stated in …
Ladies And Gentlemen, Boris Johnson And The Beastlie Boys
Another solid piece of editing that I’m posting even though the story is old. But at the rate Britain is going through Prime Ministers…
Our Deepest Apologies To The Flu Trucks Clan
I missed posting this one the first time around, but with the Emergencies Act inquiry in full swing it suddenly feels relevant again. I don’t live in Ottawa and wasn’t visiting while all this was happening, but basically everything I read, saw and heard has me questioning whether or not this really is a fake …
